Nah - he's doing a big thing in London - "Monster II". Hugely looking forward to it :)
Bill Bailey is doing a thing here at the moment as well, so I was planning to do the whole Black Books tour, but couldn't get tickets :/

Quote:Well, S4 is when they realized that Sorbo lobotimizing the show ended up not helping, so it's mostly desperate attempts at recapturing what he threw out. Unfortunately, Sorbo is hanging on to that psycho-masturbatory star billing, which means he's in something like 95% of each episode, so they can't regain the quality of back when it was an ensemble show.

ohhh, you have my sympathies for that. I got away after watching 5 or 6 EPs of S3. they were all crap and so I decided to give up on it. bought S1 and 2 on DVD though, they were really good, S2 second half was mixed but ok. later on I haven't heard that it got any better so I never went back. so maybe I'm totally wrong and S4 is brilliant but I don't think so.
It's still bad, but every now and then there're flashes of brilliance. Great ideas/visuals that never get followed through on. Like Trance's River-like "hyper-consciousness" seeming to vanish from time to time so that Dylan can save the day through his own "genius."
The two-parter finale finally took the last step and ascended Dylan to effective godhood. And S5 has just been confirmed as in production.

Oh bad luck.
Sure you'll have fun at Dylan Moran though. He's fantastic live!

Funny how easy it is to overlook stuff like Married w/ Children. Talk about dating oneself, I remember Amos & Andy; The Jack Benny Show; The Honeymooners (first run); Gunsmoke; Have Gun, Will Travel; Ed Sullivan; and Milton Berle, who was LIVE. Once Uncle Miltie's show ended way early, and he ad-libbed for about 10 minutes to fill the time slot. We watched him on an 8-inch TV back in 1948. That TV still works!

Favorite shows:
The Muppet Show (probably my all-time favorite)
Firefly
The Carol Burnett Show
Farscape
Blackadder
Monty Python's Flying Circus
Dr. Who
Buffy
And since right now I have no access to English language TV, I'm starting to love just about anything I can find at the PX/BX/NEX on DVD.
Unique, but vague.

You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die. Huh? Look at that chiseled jaw."

MAL: This is my scrap of nowhere. You go on and find your own.
SAFFRON: You can't just leave me here, on this
lifeless piece of crap moon...
MAL: Sure I can.
SAFFRON: I'll die.
MAL: Well, as a courtesy, you might start
getting busy on that, cause all this chatter ain't doin' me any kindness.
